CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

  • 1938 D Jefferson Nickel RPM?

    I recently acquired this coin at a coin show. I cannot find any reference on http://www.varietyvista.com/ to a 1938 D RPM or a similar-looking error. Does this appear to be an actual error or is this wear (either to the coin or die)? If this is an error, would it be worthwhile for anyone to get it officially attributed?

    Thank you!

    Bump. I just want to know if this is worth spending any time on. I don't want to waste anyone's time.

      Hello Croesus_amok,
      The first photo is out of Focus. I downloaded your second photo but I can tell that it was shot in normal position of the camera 640. your going to have to shoot the photo in 1200 or fine to let us see what is actually happening on this circ Nickel.

        Thanks, Eric. The photos show up in line for me. The second photo was a closeup. Here is one at a normal resolution:

          Hello croesus_amok,
          The regular photo is your problem. It needs to be shot in FINE not regular or 640. The resolution is terrible on the regular pic and when it's zoomed in. This is what I get. Coneca-Nickel.jpg
